ahh the first number with the appalatian style singing and dancing as well as clogging its and older style looking dance but the footwork is faster and more fluid and continuous then the usual tap dance and has more of the trick footwork that old style tapping had that you dont see as much of anymore, and the tallent I can say after watching several old videos of miss america and pagents from the carolinas they have some of the best dancers espcially percussive like tapping and clogging since they got that tradition in the contryside areas even to this day, and that baton routine was prob one of the best I have ever seen, but its not as common anymore, like much of the traditions of not soo long ago that are classic and americana are getting rarer, I miss the times from not so long back when you didn't have the nonsense going on like we do today in the culture, you still had ladies that were not afraid to show a little leg and clothing still left a bit more to the imagination, and compeating in pagents or being able to perform was a lauded thing sure it had its detractors but people appreciated and enjoyed it, and it was a laudable thing in most eyes to win miss america or the like, and tallent shows made people household names, that and we still knew what it ment to be an american, we had backbone to us, and even at this point much of the stuff the ladies were wearing was still made here by our own people and usa made could be found for a resionable price unlike today but the girls from the carolinas hardly ever dissappoint when it comes to talent in music and dancing in these shows they are soo good its a joy to watch.

Patricia Parker looks like a taller Sherry Thrift!
This is interesting to watch cuz I'm from Forsyth County North Carolina.
So I just watched this for the first time…I would have switched the 1st runner up and winner. The rest of the top 5 I didn’t have making top 5 at all.
Who’s the girl clogging?
